Falling Off a Star

I struggled to be who I couldn't be...
I skipped over puddles that I couldn't see...
On the one last star that I had in your sky, I fell
off and and faded like so many goodbyes...
I tried to wave but the shadows hid my cries...
And stood invisble in a world with tattered why's...
So I floated away into the darkness like falling time...
And I only hoped I wasn't forgotten and that my
memory would remain kind...

Reminded me of a song written by Michael Nesmith "JoAnn".

A soft but powerful write dear poet ! The melancholy writes are far from my writes, or mainly reads, yet when I come across ones like this write of yours...I have to recognize its impact. Great write Michael ! Have a wonderful weekend sir....much love, james
